Dell U3417W Ultra-wide 34 Inch Curved WQHD Monitor

This is the updated ultra-wide quad HD curved PC monitor from Dell. The U3417W is here to replace the older U3415W with an even deeper screen curvature. It also has a jaw dropping aspect ratio of 21:9 giving its users an immersive panoramic display across the 34 inch IPS panel.

The U3417W features Cutting Edge Design

The obvious first point to recognise is the fantastic panoramic curved screen that demands 99% of your attention when first faced with the U3417W. It sits in a silver and black chassis with the bezel being matt black plastic measuring only 2mm along the sides and the top, whilst the bottom part being the widest measures a mere 20mm. Please note that there is also a 10mm border within the screen itself before the image starts.

The buttons are where you expect them to be (in the bottom right hand corner of the bezel) and there are four OSD (On Screen Display) buttons to choose from.

Dell U3417W is Fully Adjustable for Comfort

With such a large screen when you are sat 2 feet away from the screen you will need to ensure you find a comfortable viewing angle for the sake of your neck. Dell has provided a stand with the U3417W that allows you to tilt it forward and back, swivel it left and right and adjust the height to allow most users to reach a comfortable viewing position. In fact the only thing this stand will not do is a 90o pivot in to portrait mode, which is understandable when you are dealing with a 34 inch curved screen.

The U3417W is still fully VESA mountable with the usual 100 x 100mm mounts on the back so you choose to wall mounting if needed.

Dell chose an IPS panel that uses WLED backlighting with edge array across the 21:9 aspect ratio screen. The screen also has a antiglare hard coating 3H to give added protection. It boasts a huge 3440 x 1440 resolution at 60Hz refresh rate, although it still has a 1000:1 contrast ratio (typical) and an 8ms (grey to grey) response time when in normal mode.
